lyrics

SWEPT AWAY
I am standing at the door once again.
Close enough to touch you.
I see you through windows, expressionless.
I can’t hold you, now.
I can’t feel you, now.

Welcome to my future, I’ve lived my past.
I never thought of now, then.
There you go again walking right through me.
Reaching out my hands.
Slipping through like sand.

I want to be swept away
I want to be swept away
Swept away.

If you close your eyes it all comes in clear.
Right here in the silence.
You can see my tears falling to the ground.
That is all you see, but that water is me.

I want to be swept away
I want to be swept away
Swept away.

Touch the floor. Feel my soul. Now, you know.
You look at me. I fade away.

I want to be swept away
I want to be swept away
Swept away.
Swept away.
Swept away.
Swept away.
